HBB KZ PR2 reviewed by Audionotions

Audionotions 5.5 Reviewer Score
Solid technical performance. Imaging and resolution much better than the price would suggest. Stage is average to intimate. Well-tuned planar - decently balanced. Treble can be very spicy and zingy - I had to use Final E tips. Kind of a no brainer at this price point - on sale for 30 makes this even crazier. Planar timbre.

Highly resolving planar. Wonky harmonics, too much treble energy, fatiguing tuning. You don't know what you'll get when you order.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D-
  • The tonal profile is unruly and tiring, forcing constant volume adjustments. Even spoken word sounds unnatural.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Mids C+
Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.
Treble E-
Highs sound veiled and distant, draining life from the mix. Hi-hats fade before they start.
Dynamics E-
It cannot muster meaningful volume gradation, making tracks feel static. It drains life from energetic music.
Soundstage C-
The mix opens sideways while remaining vertically compressed and front-to-back shallow. You'll notice crowding on busy tracks.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
